Hi! I'm Luis, a fellow Xbox Gamer . Thanks for reaching us out here.

Unfortunately no, there is no such feature. What you can do is check if you have the large on screen keyboard option on

Settings>Accesibiity>Magnifier

If you do disable it to decrease the keyboard size

Try a Power Cycle

Press and hold the Xbox button in the center of your Xbox One controller to open the Power Center.
Select Restart console.
Select Restart.

Thanks, here are the questions:

Can I disable the on-screen keyboard when typing in Microsoft Edge or on Xbox in general? I use a keyboard and don't need the pop-up one for the controller.

Is there a way to stop other tabs from being discarded in Microsoft Edge on Xbox? It says when I hover over the tab: "this tab was discarded to save resources". Is there an option to cost resources in order to keep multiple tabs open?

Would I be able to navigate the Xbox home screen, Microsoft store, or other apps with a mouse cursor, or is it only done with the keyboard arrows or controller?

Hello, My name is King. I'm an Independent Advisor and a member of the Microsoft community and I'd love to assist you today.

I'll recommend you do a power cycle to clear the system cache

- Turn off your console by pressing the Xbox button on the front of the console for about 10 seconds, until it shuts down completely.

- Unplug the console's power cable. Wait 2 minutes.

- Plug the console power cable back in. Press the Xbox button on your console to turn it on and check if it's all good.

If that doesn't help, I'll suggest you try doing a factory reset keeping games and apps on your console. This will refresh the console and remove all potential bugs without deleting any game data.

- Press the Xbox button to open the guide.

- Select Profile & system > Settings > System > Console info.

- Select Reset console.

- Choose Keep Games and Apps

Once that is done, you'll need to sign into the console using your Microsoft account credentials. If the issue is with your console, that should fix it.

Hope this helps.
